July 13 (Reuters) - U.S. stocks were set for a sedate open
on Wednesday, a day after investors powered the S&P 500 and the
Dow to record highs amid growing optimism about the economy.

Easing political tension in Japan and Britain and increased
prospects of central banks providing stimulus post Britain's
vote to leave the European Union have also helped reduce some
uncertainty in global markets.

That sparked a broad rally on Tuesday that also led to the
S&P 500 and the Dow notching new closing highs, and the Nasdaq
to turn positive for the first time in 2016.
